Answer 1

If you are referring to a SOCKS proxy server, then you need to establish a socket connection to the proxy first, then send it a request telling it where to connect next (in this case, to google.com:80), and if successful then you can send normal HTTP requests to google directly using that same socket connection. How to send a request to the SOCKS proxy depends on which version of SOCKS the proxy is actually using - v4, v4a or v5.
